Bourgogne Terroir d'Exception 2023, the mineral brilliance of a great Chardonnay

For lovers of fine wines seeking the rare balance between intensity and purity, this Bourgogne Terroir d'Exception 2023 from Domaine du Château de Meursault promises a clear, lasting impression. Between mineral tension and fruity caress, it answers a desire for precision, accuracy and harmony at the table. Its uniqueness stems from a strong sense of place: the Perrières in Meursault, where a parcel planted in 1975 roots in limestone scree and marls, east-facing to catch the morning light and convey freshness. The approach is artisanal: hand-harvested grapes, slow pressing, traditional vinification, and ageing on fine lees with 30% new oak, preserving the essence of the terroir without excessive wood. The bouquet evokes white flowers, Conference pear, fine vanilla and a delicate toasty nuance, while the palate, generous and well-defined, unfolds a salivating, precise and decidedly gourmand thread.

Origin, vine and know-how, crafted with jeweller’s precision

Made from 100% Chardonnay and classified as Bourgogne AOC, this wine comes from a 68-are parcel in the heart of the Perrières in Meursault. The limestone scree and marls, together with an east-facing aspect, create a direct, luminous minerality. Planted in 1975, the vineyard yields grapes of remarkable aromatic precision. The harvest is carried out by hand to preserve the integrity of the berries. Pressing is deliberately slow and vinification traditional, allowing the terroir to express itself. Ageing on fine lees with 30% new oak adds relief and a delicate mouthfeel without masking the stony thread. On the nose, minerality intertwines with white flowers, Conference pear and subtle vanilla, lifted by an elegant toasty note. On the palate, you find that controlled generosity, salivating precision and striking freshness. Alcohol content is 13.5%.

Pairings and tasting moments, the table as a showcase
